At Plant High School, volleyball and football are the marquee sports. It’s what happens when you win multiple state championships and earn national acclaim.
What doesn’t typically happen, however, is this: Both squads were state champions in the classroom too. The Florida High School Athletic Association ranked Plant’s volleyball and football teams tops academically in the state in their classifications.
The volleyball team, winners of four straight state championships, won the Class 6A title with a team grade point average of 3.7. The football team, which has won two consecutive state titles and three in the last four years, won the 5A honor with a collective GPA of 3.1.
